Gays are okay with people feeling better than them. Gays do want to keep their lifestyle to themselves, but their quality of life is purposefully infringed upon by these "pro-family" organizations. Most want to lead normal lives like the rest of America, but because they bond outside the law their relationships don't matter. Federal law protects against discrimination because of race, religion, ethnicity, age, sex, and disabilities. You'll notice something is missing. Gay partnerships do not matter to the IRS, to federal law, or to employers. It is fully legal to discriminate as an employer and landlord (though that is starting to change) specifically on the basis of sexual orientation. Over 1000 benefits and privileges enjoyed by heterosexual couples are denied to gays. Some criticize the mayors for not having examples of discrimination to justly block the expansion of Chick-fil-a. That's missing the point- discrimination against homosexuals is all too often not legally considered discrimination to begin with.

This is not simply an omission. It is the expressed political platform of both the national Democratic and Republican parties to prevent fully equal status of gay partnerships. I would like to believe that this cause is championed in the name of pure theocracy, in which case it would be intellectually honest. It is more accurate to say that many equate homosexuality to mating with wild animals, to molesting and abusing innocent children, to rape, and to fetishism. We have seen this occur in this thread, as if the consensual loving relationship between two males or females in the manner of a male and a female is equivalent to a heinous crime.

To say that gays are a minority, so they should keep quiet, or they are an abomination against God, so should be rightly punished, is missing the point. Gays pay taxes. They serve on jury duty. They make your hair look fabulous or work in the office alongside you. They might even be your neighbors. They're normal Americans who generally want the same recognition that heterosexual couples get. They might still ask you to accept them, and you may still be disgusted by their pride parades. Fine. They at least want the law to accept them as full citizens, and that is what this is all about.

Now the media frenzy to create a summer story, or the politicians' scramble to score points is another matter. But this is really about gays. And honestly, the group of people who have the full financial attention and social respect are the Christians. Playing martyr like the world's going to end, like Satan the lord of darkness himself is stirring your coffee at Starbucks and also looking for a tax break to further his dark ends on minimum wage doesn't change the fact that the gays still have the short end of the stick legally speaking, and are actually people who want to be treated equally when it comes to the law.

I think a lot of gay bring this on themselves.......they go in your face about thier abomidable behaviour and then complain when your resist their demostrations of purient acts. What do you guys or girls want? Do you want us heterosexuals to demonstrate and clog up city streets to force our point of view?? We could care less about your sexual preference just keep it to your selves......... Demonstrate some class for once.

Class? Like the class you show when you "forget" and disparage the LGBT acronym? When you routinely call them abominations? Maybe they are, but do you honestly expect them to listen to you when you talk like that?

Did you know Fanta Soda was a product of Nazi Germany? When Coke syrup couldn't be had during the War they tried to keep the soda bottling operations up and going so they invented a new brand Fanta ( short for Fantasy).

And on the 7th day the lord said "Chicken shall not be shoved down your gullets on this day, because it's the gays fault. Take that gays!"

As far as I understand it, several former employees are currently suing Chick-Fil-A for sexual discrimination. Further, the entity that is Chic-Fil-A donated a bunch of money to deplorable non-profits that lobby, among other ridiculous things, to deport American homosexuals. This is more than just a boycott on chicken. It's a human rights issue.

There's actually a woman suing them who alledges that she was fired so that she could be a stay-at-home mother.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

What is more telling are those buying Chick-Fil-A now, not at all based on the actual product, but what is ethically behind it. So a consumer who buys a chicken sandwich is also buying into the idea that they are also supporting "Pro-Family" values. Another example would be you can purchase a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup at Walmart or at a local grocery who is unionized, at the same exact price. However based upon the consumers' ethics, they may opt to shop at the local grocery because they support unions and oppose Walmart's anti-union stance, believing that they have some power behind their purchase. The thought behind the purchase is larger than what the actual purchase is.

In the mere act of consuming something there needs to be justification for it. You see it quite a bit where if you spend x amount of dollars and the company will contribute a percentage to a non-profit organization, so now you can morally justify your purchase in a sense you remove the guilt from buying something you know an impoverished child produced for mere cents. So instead of targeting the latter, instead of being charitable, we have come to the point that we feel good about consuming, and buying into the capitalism model. Which is unfortunate because [corporate] greed and corruption are both eternal traits of capitalism, regardless of the masks they sometimes wear in public. Or in Cathy's case capitalism is disguised by the cloak of biblical marriage.

So in regards to Chick-Fil-A, the vast majority may not realize they also support the unlivable wages many of the workers face and who will probably not see a penny of the boost in profits the company has made since this "controversy", and instead of being charitable towards the workers we instead would rather be charitable to an ideology.

I hope for Mr. Cathy's sake, if it is part of his interpretation of Christianity, which it probably isn't, that he would redistribute the increase in profits to the workers who had to work even harder for the excess in consumers who buy into Cathy's "Pro-family" rhetoric.

Well, working a McDonalds, or Chick Fil A are any other business offers a Market driven wage scale. These jobs were never meant to be a life long endeavour but a stepping stone to higher positions. Those retired make use of their wages as a supplement to their 401k, those who are smart enough can get into managerial positions within the company. And dont forget if you think you are getting screwed wage wise there are other job alternatives. In this country we go by the Market economy to set wages. If you find a better working wage at another place it is to you advantage to go elsewhere. This is how it works here. Having the government set wages that mess with profit and losses always causes problems for the workers. Secondly, any profits from this temporary boost in sales will no doubt go into opening more stores providing more employment opportunities. Complain all you want but this is how it works here.

Oh really, is that why many of those who were in a career now are forced to work at stepping stone jobs just to try to support themselves? Take my father for example. Hardest working man in America, got his way all the way up the corporate ladder and was on the top paid execs. He got laid off, is in his 50s, and has about 192 job applications submitted to jobs similar to what he had before, for two years now.

But now he has to take the work from those that need those stepping stone jobs, you know the jobs that weren't supposed to be the life long endeavor. But now he doesn't have any retirement plans because his company filed bankruptcy robbing him years worth of pay.

And I could careless how this economy runs, because clearly it is not to the benefit of everyone. We need to change our thinking because soon enough once these greedy corporations adopt things like automation, get ready to see a huge spike of unemployed workers.

Maybe then we can get enough of the working class to revolt against you bourgeois.

I dont think you should worry so much about automation. I had a boss tell me once how soon there would be no need for workers because of automation. That was about thirty years ago, he's long dead and so far, it still has not happened.

Supply and demand. You do a job anyone can do because it is not so demanding, there is a lot of supply, and the salary reflects it.

Of course, they can raise the price to $10 a burger, in which case no one will buy them and everyone will be out of a job.

Individual or personal anecdotes, I understand, are not worth very much - but for what it is worth at least to my thinking, nowadays I see far more older (40s and 50s) people working at almost every kind of fast-food establishment in the city I live in (Eugene, pop. 150000) than I ever saw growing up in a smaller town (Astoria, 10000). Not the particular cities or population size should ultimately matter, but both have relatively depressed economies due to the long-term decline of natural resource-based and general manufacturing jobs. Carls Jr., Burger King, Wendy's, McDonald's... wouldn't know about Chick Fil A because they've not expanded to the Northwest. Anyway, I imagine that in decades past, many/most of these older people would have (or even DID have) better paying manufacturing-sector jobs, that are now lost to them and most Americans in future generations.

So the argument for a "living wage" in fast-food occupations (as in Walmart, retail stores in general and so on) sounds more valid to me, if only on the basis that the opportunities for low-skilled, relatively uneducated citizens has vanished from much of the country when it existed before. It's anathema to pure capitalism I would guess, but it could be argued from a Christian-values perspective, and I would ultimately agree with some of the "liberal" or "radical" types on here that it should be given consideration from a company that otherwise highlights its generic biblical/Christian particulars (closed on Sundays, anti-gay marriage.) Still am disappointed that these "liberals" characteristically then want to shut out any discussion of the pro-homosexual undertones they seem to employ, and it leaves any one who might want to uphold *both* what Chick Fil A currently holds (and what some think it should take up) as having no place in the debate.

See this is your problem is that you are valuing labor based off supply and demand, which itself is not objective nor should a worker's livability be based upon a changing metric. Plus you are missing that supply and demand in itself can be monopolized by manipulating the price even higher for a good.

Capitalism is not and has never been the enemy or evil. People are the problem.

I too have seen older people working jobs normally filled by college students. While it is unfortunate they must do this rather than retire there is something to learn from them. They work when they need to and take what is available rather than whine and live off government hand outs. They provide a much better level of service than their younger counterparts. Businesses are actually hiring them instead of opting for the younger, dumber crowd.

There. And in the soup kitchens and any number of charitable enterprises which, studies show, the conservative folks overwhelming contribute to and run the bulk.
